The 2009 PSU win @ OSU was by far the best game that I have ever been to in my life. The PSU win @ OSU caused riots all throughout downtown State College. Truly Amazing and Incredible. Thanks for sharing this great video.
2008, was the year at Ohio state!!! Darryl Clark was the quarterback, and we went to the Rose Bowl and got beat!!! Still love that team as well as too many other Nittany Lions teams to count 👏!!!! WE ARE
My favorite Penn State moments of all time, not in any particular order 1. Both national championship wins 2. The 1994 comeback against Illinois 3. The 2001 win over Ohio State 4. The goal line stand against Indiana in 2004 5. The huge upset of Wisconsin just last year 6. The 2005 and 2008 defensive wins over Ohio State 7. Penn State holding on to beat Alabama in 1983 as revenge for 1992 8. Penn State beating Ohio State 27-0 back in 1964 9. The 48-14 mauling of #1 Pitt in 1981 after falling behind 14-0 early. 10. The 21-20 win over Syracuse way back in 1955 (the first Penn State game I ever saw) 11. The 1959 Liberty Bowl 7-0 win over Alabama (I believe PSU's only win over Bear Bryant), this was also the game that started me to really get into Penn State football. I wish I could have seen it in person but hearing it on the radio was as you kids today say, epic. Other than the big wins over Syracuse and Alabama, I didn't really follow Penn State until 1960, but from that season onward, I've watched almost every Penn State game (or at least listened to it on the radio).
As I thought, you're a Notre Dame fan. Too bad your team hasn't won a major bowl in over 20 years. PS: I noticed that your comments aren't showing up on the video, you must have been banned already. Your reputation of stupidity must really get around.
+swatson 999 To be honest, I don't care what team you're a fan of. Those were the most logical choices. So that begs the question, if you're not a fan of someone like Syracuse, Notre Dame, Pitt, or Ohio State, why do you go out of your way to start shit with a fanbase that your team apparently doesn't have a natural rivalry with? And don't give me that horseshit about caring about kids. I bet you've never donated one red cent or one minute of your time to anything to benefit kids. It's just your excuse to bash JoePa. Your comments just prove you to be another double-digit IQ mouth-breather who can't talk facts and I bet you're a bandwagon hopper who was a Miami fan in the 80's, Florida State fan in the 90's, USC fan in the 00's, and I bet you're an Alabama fan now. Regardless of what team you're currently a fan of, I can guarantee you never went to that school, you just show up and get drunk on cheap beer and cause trouble.
So you donated a dollar to Toys for Tots around Christmas, big whoop. I've proven time and time again that Paterno did not cover up anything and your continuing to brand him as a "pedophile lover" is nothing but libel. Look up the actual facts about the case involving the incident that McQueary reported, not that garbage you've been reading over at deadspin. And don't even bother to "correct" me if you're not a member of that site, all of the false information about Paterno came from there. A little research will show that Sandusky was acquitted of three of the 48 charges, one of which is the one that the media jumped all over. I'm going to state these facts again because apparently you missed them the first time around. The boy was 14, not 10, it happened in the daytime, not the nighttime, it was 2001, not 2002, McQueary never reported anal sex to Paterno or ANYONE until the grand jury investigation. The boy himself, now a man, was one of the few to defend Sandusky. Paterno reported this to Tim Curley and Gary Schultz. The only one who would be potentially to blame is Gary Schultz, but ask yourself if it really was a coverup if all that was known as slappying and laughing sounds. And apparently you never heard of the 1998 incident. Well, there was word that Sandusky was behaving inappropriately with some boys and Penn State brought this information to the police. They did an investigation and determined that Sandusky had "boundary issues" DA Ray Gricar did not press charges. This is not "Penn State" propaganda, it's FACTS. And yes having a double digit IQ is a sign of lower intelligence. Frankly the average person is a moron. You're proof of that. I don't believe you got a degree from anywhere. In fact, you talk more like someone with only an 8th grade education than a college graduate. Anyone who can only say "you're stupid" and "Ped state" is obviously of low intelligence. The reason so many fans took delight in other schools getting in trouble is because you idiots made dumb jokes about Paterno being a senile figurehead and that the only way Penn State won in the past is by loading up on cupcakes (both lies). I don't condone it but that's how younger fans think, any kind of revenge is good enough for them. I personally have always been against the "vacated wins" garbage. The results happened on the field as they did. I was one of the most outspoken critics of seeing Bowden's wins stripped away a few years ago and I said that it was bull that the kids at Ohio State were getting punished with the bowl ban. People said I was getting too soft in my old age, but I like to win the right way, not because some arbitrary group suddenly turned all those wins into losses. O wouldn't even wish that on Pitt and Syracuse. PS: The "trying to guess your team" was an ad hominem. Nothing more. Because of your obsessive hatred of Penn State. You know, your entire method of "debate". Who knows, maybe schools these days are teaching kids that insults without substance are a perfectly valid way of proving a point. I wouldn't be surprised considering the average high school graduate in the 21st century can't even figure out basic math problems that were taught to 6th graders back when I went to school. Frankly, I'm getting tired of repeating myself trying to get you to look at facts, so I'm just going to close this thread. They say you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. And you obviously have no interest in even examining the facts or even paying mind to an opposing viewpoint, so our conversation is entirely moot and pointless. And has been from the minute I decided to reply to you.
Who said anything about Franklin you schmuck...yes he was a great coach but you know damn well he could of done more with that whole scandal. He could of been the greatest coach in the world but in the end, his conscious wasnt clear, and you know it...what else you got?
@@frankchinigo907 And what? Told that cops "Hey, one of my assistants said he saw something"inappropriate" in the shower, why don't you go arrest Sandusky? ALL PATERNO WAS TOLD WAS SOMETHING "inappropriate happened" he didn't see it. You want someone to blame, how about being a decent human being, and blaming the guy who actually saw what happened. Joe had no responsibility in this AT ALL!
My family left my house to go to a "history walk" the night of the Michigan game. (7:00 min mark) We checked the score and left the history walk very quickly. We made it home to watch one of my most favorite games. It was a great way for Penn State to end a season on a high note after what all went down shortly before.
I've seen all of the moments at Beaver Stadium that were featured in this video while I was ushering inside Beaver Stadium. There are even more special moments that have happened but that video would take all day to watch. WE ARE PENN STATE!!
I was at every one of those home games... That game that ended in the fumble with Hali picking it up... I never saw anything like that. The only time we stormed the field. I was hugging people I didn't even know. It was the happiest time I've ever seen in happy valley. It rained off and on all day... I was offered $1200 for my four tickets, and I said "No thanks man, I'm not selling em, we going in there, and we're gonna be the loudest place on earth, and we're gonna win". And we did. I'll remember that game until the day I die... that's the last thing I'll forget.
Had I had the talent to play at a high level, the only coach I would have played for would have been Joe. I don’t care what the writers wanted us to believe, Joe did what he thought was the right thing. He informed the higher ups. He was such a positive influence on thousands of young men. Teheran greatest college coach ever. God bless him.
@@matthewgabbard6415 - yeah I guess with time this will not seem so important. But I believe Joe felt he did everything he should have done. Remember that this subject was taboo back than snd no one really knew exactly how to handle it . He didn't try to cover it up, he was guilty of not doing enough. Big difference
@@matthewgabbard6415 Joe set up McQueary in a meeting with PSU's AD and VP the day after McQueary came to him. FYI, the VP at PSU is the head of the PSU Police Department, which is its own police department, independent of the State College Police Department. In other words, the police were notified. This all happened years after Sandusky had retired and had been contractually granted various accommodations by the administration, i.e., Paterno had no power over Sandusky's access to the campus whatsoever. Oh, and in the years just before Sandusky finally retired, the administration was trying to get rid of Paterno, and guess who they wanted to replace him with? Yep... It was Jerry. Bottom line? PSU's President, VP, and AD were all scumbags running a multi-billion-dollar operation who had worked to get rid of Paterno for years before this incident gave PSU's Bosrd the cover to do so, but you never heard that angle from ABC or ABC-owned ESPN, because Paterno had been a thorn in their side for decades, ever since he and others started the movement to free the NCAA from its previously exclusive ABC television contract. SEE: www.nytimes.com/1981/07/31/sports/college-football-goes-to-2-networks.html
While the highlights are pretty good, it's the goalline stand against the Hoosiers on the road towards the end of a losing season that is the most significant. Without that, there's no momentum heading into the game against Michigan State to end the season with a win. Without the season-ending win, there's nothing really for Joe to use to recruit those four very talented freshmen (Willliams, Norwood, King, Butler) who were so instrumental in the incredible 2005 season. Without 2005, there's no 2008, 2009, no 2012 under the weight of sanctions, no Hackenberg or Robinson, no Barkley or McSorley, and the slew of linebackers and defensive linemen who terrorize quarterbacks and running backs everywhere. There would be no Penn State in the modern age without a desperate stand by an incredibly young defense in the late afternoon in the fourth quarter of a game that standings-wise meant very little.
Yes I enjoyed that one as well. These are only a few of the games that I selected. I may do another video (somewhat like a sequel to this one if you all think it is a good idea.)

We lost to OSU in 2009

PSU vs Miami for the National Championship to me was the greatest game ever.
I was at that 300 overtimes game against Michigan, it was crazy.
How I’d love to see PS put a fullback back in their backfield.
at 3:22....gives me chills to see him walk
Too many of your favorite moments involved my Buckeyes.
Your Buckeyes usually win!
Loved it great video

Ethan Henderson Well said! Funny how one big play, or in this case 4, can set the tone for the future!
That was the turning point. Then the comeback against NW the springboard.
Butler and Norwood were both walk-ons
I was at the second game in this video... incredible game
Well done!
We Are.....
PENN STATE
This is awesome
what year was this one?
We Are....... Penn State!
this is so sick
I really enjoyed the 2013 game. Some how, those highlights weren't selected.
Yes I enjoyed that one as well. These are only a few of the games that I selected. I may do another video (somewhat like a sequel to this one if you all think it is a good idea.)
I’m a huge fan of Penn State
I love Penn State Football
Miss Joe Pa
I wish Michael Robinson played QB for 4 years at PSU, he rode the bench, Joe Pa was such a clown when it came to Quarterbacks.
Where's the national championship game video?
All you people arguing about Joe Pa, he knew something was up, he just didnt want to rock the boat. You are either ok with that or you are not.
That's your idiot fantasy pal.
My favorite is the jopa pooping pants game.
Pay
Less rapings lately.
Lets call this video what it is, a Inferiority complex to Ohio State.
surftim23- Penn State and Lion fans feel inferior to no one. NO ONE.
surfingtim23- why would we feel inferior to a team the Lions keep beating every time it's important?
